Sometime in 2000, while I was still attending college, I started my first software business: Slaveware.net. I never really did much with the site, as my entire life was consumed by school, work, and the other 2 minutes per day that I had all to myself. In May of 2004, I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the Engineering school. Upon graduation, I was able to acquire a job working for Microsoft, at which point Slaveware.net was basically done, though the domain still exists today, simply as a place holder site!
